Happy Valentine's Day!

I thank my God every time I remember you. Philippians 1:3

I’ve always liked Valentine’s day. Even before I had a "valentine" of my own, it was an opportunity to express my love for those important people in my life, without all the pressures and expectations of Christmas.

In school it was a fun time to make a valentine "mailbox" and buy cheap valentines for everyone in the class, and of course, PARTY! My favorite valentines from classmates were the ones that had candy in them. I always tried to wear red or pink that day. The poor teacher could never get any work done.

Now I’m old(er), but it’s still fun to give and get valentines. It’s also a time to think about those people God has placed in my life who I am especially thankful for. I didn’t manage to get valentines for all of you this year, but I’m still glad you’re in my life!

I’m especially thankful for my #1 valentine, my hubby. I had to wait a long time for him, but he was worth the wait!

So to all of those I love, happy Valentine’s Day, and thank you for being a part of my life!
